Erm..what about the fact that putting your body in multiple G forces for any length of time will make it virtually impossible to breath, apply massive force to your rib cage and lungs and affect your blood flow and heart function?

tanning shops already do...

they have some machine you stand on and it shakes around aparently its as god as working out for XX amount of time....

My daughter has just borrowed one and she thinks the same.
I printed out loads of exercises you are supposed to do while you're on them.
My other daughter has just got a degree in Sports Science and reckons they are widely used in sports therapy so after I come in from my 5k run I stand on it for 1 minute and my legs feel awesome.
Could be a placebo though.
 
The same people with lolkwerk but they still open the thread and post:rolleyes: Keep the threads coming kwerk you are the only thing we got left after they took britboy and dvdbunny away.

The link you provided explains how the 20-G centrifuge that NASA has will simulate conditions in space, where mavity is less powerful than on earth, to counter the effects of space travel on human bodies.

Kwerks idea is about training in conditions where the mavity is stronger than 1G. The article does not answer that.

EDIT: Ignore what I wrote above, I misread the article. You were correct.

Apparantly the university of california already had this idea and has an experimental machine. I would buy one. I think you could adapt it to almost any exercise, except you dont need any weights just your limbs. And you get a whole body contraction for every exercise.

Apparently this is being fitted in the Geordie Shore house

Did you even read the article?
It clearly says:
a machine that creates artificial mavity forces by spinning and that can simulate up to 20 times the force of mavity experienced on Earth.

There is no such thing as "anti-mavity". You cant build a stationary machine that reduces mavity.

The article states that they are researching how astronaughts cope with the increased mavity they encounter after they return to earth. They are doing this by taking people who are used to earth's mavity and putting them in a centrifuge to subject them to a sudden increase in mavity.
 
Think this might be quite a bit out my budget. Unless my gym gets this I think I'll stick to £20 a month to use my local gym. :)

I seem to have misread the article after all. I thought they were examining how their body would react while in space.

You are correct.
